A tribute concert to Jerry Garcia performed by the Spud Boy All-Stars at Radio/East in Austin.
Spud Boy All-Stars are playing Radio/East on Wednesday, August 26, for a tribute to Jerry Garcia. It's a single-bill night with the All-Stars taking the stage, so the whole evening is built around Garcia's songbook.
If you're not already familiar with the name, the Spud Boy All-Stars are the ones leading the charge here. They're the sole act on the bill, and the night is dedicated to Garcia, so you can expect the set to pull from the Grateful Dead's catalog and Garcia's solo work. It's a tribute show, which means the focus is on the music he left behind rather than a new record or a touring album. If you've spent any time with the Dead's live tapes or Garcia's studio albums, you've got a good idea of what's coming.
The show is at Radio/East, over on Montopolis Drive. It's a mid-week date, so it's a Wednesday night in the middle of the week rather than a weekend slot. Doors open at 7 PM, and the music starts at 8 PM, which gives you a good window to get there, grab a drink, and settle in before the first note. Tickets are $20.
